Project "Devils’ town Erosion MONITORing - DEMONITOR" involves the monitoring of accessible earth pillars in the area of Devil’s town, by using a combination of several non‐invasive methods. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and photogrammetric imaging with unmanned aircraft (UAV) as a platform showed as great solutions for 3D modeling of this site and erosion monitoring. In this work it is shown that using manual free flight mode for imaging with UAV gave much better results than the missions performed with predefined flight plans. The desired long‐term effect from this research should have a significant part in the overall socioeconomic development of the municipality of Kuršumlija, and the entire Toplica district.
This research was supported by Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, Grant No. 7515, Devils’ town Erosion MONITORing - DEMONITOR.
